Step 4Drill and Tap Trekking Pole
Luckily, the end of my trekking poles were a pretty thick plastic. To make sure, i first removed the wrist straps by lightly tapping the press-fit pins out.
Next, tap and drill a 1/4-20 hole in the top of the trekking pole. Make sure you've got enough thickness for at least three threads! If not, you could easily end up stripping the plastic threads.
Once you've got your hole tapped, reattach your wrist-straps and connect the flexible conduit tube you just made!
To keep things light, I just tied the tapped trekking pole and two others together to create the three legs. This worked surprisingly well and was even stable enough for night shots!
